Office Visits

We ask that you bring you picture identification, insurance cards, forms, and other necessary documentation with you to your first appointment. Should your insurance coverage require a referral from your primary care physician, we ask that you obtain it prior to your visit. Your co-pay is required at time of visit. For your convenience, we accept cash, checks, and credit cards.

Hospital Services

We will bill your insurance carrier for services provided to you in the hospital. Please ensure that we have your coverage information and proper completion and signature of your insurance form.

If payment creates a financial hardship for you during treatment, please discuss our fees with your physician or with the office manager. We will be happy to work with you to develop a payment plan that is mutually acceptable.
